Report: LaVar Ball and family to star in Facebook documentary series
What do you get when you combine the biggest social media platform with the most outspoken father in basketball?
A Facebook-driven documentary series on LaVar Ball and his family.
According to Deadline, Facebook has approved a yet-to-be-titled series about the Balls as part of an ongoing push for more high-quality video content.
LaVar’s outlandish comments, which include him touting that he could beat Michael Jordan one-on-one, have made him a polarizing figure in sports culture. Lonzo Ball, LaVar’s eldest son, was drafted No. 2 overall in the NBA draft and is the new face of the Los Angeles Lakers. The middle son, LiAngelo, is set to be a freshman at UCLA, and the youngest son, LaMelo, is a junior in high school.
